Im replacing my gasket of my TA cover cause of a leak....I drained the fluid and it still looks clean so im gonna reuse it...

my question is, theres a fill hole on the top of the cover....do I fill to that point or the normal fill hole on the side of the housing? or does it matter?


is to much fluid a bad thing?

 

good question, I still use the fill hole on the side of the rear like normal to deside full

 

you can use the top hole on the cover to fill, but only fill to the normal depth of the original hole

 

Question..Why are you going to reuse the old fluild??? Just because it looks clean dose not mean it should not be replaced. All that work and you don't use new fluid... DUMB

 

If you want to use the hole in the cover to fill it just remove the plug in the side and fill until the oil runs out the side. Do not fill to the hole in the cover.

 

wow looks like you got the awnser a few time

 

LOL..yeah I guess I did.

another question? I forgot how much torque to put on the cap bolts...I think its like 5 or 10 lbs....and the outter bolts are like 30 or so?


anyone know?

 

I have the instructions out in the shop, but I'm pretty sure that the preload bolts are 5 foot pounds and the others are 25. I can look it up later if you want. Be sure to use some sealant around the preload bolts to keep oil from leaking out around them. I usually torque them and then use a little RTV around the bolt before putting the jamb nut on.
